Day 5 Of The 7 Day Diet 2018

…God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16). Day 5: Today, attempt to greet everyone, and view everything through the prism of love. This begins by greeting all with a smile. You will not do this perfectly, no one but a saint could, the purpose is to be aware of love, pay attention to love, to experience the truly limitless capacity we have for it, to both give and receive. Observe how those whom you meet respond when you greet them with love and a smile in your eyes, how your thoughts are altered when a situation or a bit of news is viewed through the prism of love. The path of love is the straight gate and the shortest way to the Great Goal, to live on the Spiritual Basis a day at a time for the rest of our lives. Oh, and you are keeping this to yourself for the next couple of days, right?

Day 4 Of The 7 Day Mental Diet 2018

Consider: You are sitting by a camp fire and a hot cinder flies up and lands on your sleeve. If you brush the cinder off at once, without a moments delay, no harm is done. However if you allow it to rest for even a few heartbeats, under any pretense, the mischief is done, leaving a hole in your shirt and possibly a welt on your arm. So it is with negative thought.

Simply stated we have no control over the thoughts that surface in our consciousness or are foisted on us by others but we do choose how we will address these unwanted thoughts. Living on the Spiritual Basis the path is clear: When we immediately supplant the negative thought with a positive one, we remain unharmed, our spiritual sleeves hole free. Additionally we do not try to discern or understand why a particular thought crossed our mind, avoiding the trap of morbid reflection; we simply take the necessary action to address it. Kinda like a house fire, why it started of little importance, putting it out quickly the goal. In time, this will become second nature.

By this point in the diet you are probably experiencing some difficulties, it may feel like everything is seemingly going sideways, you have more trouble now, more spiritual discontent than when you started. Outstanding! You have shaken your world at its bedrock and when the shaking stops, a new and much stronger foundation will be in place. Stay the course and again under no circumstance discuss what you are doing with anyone until you are done with the diet. Onwards through the fog.

Day 3 Of The 7 Day Mental Diet 2018

Having fun yet? The diet may be simple, but it certainly is not easy. Continue being vigilant; watching for morbid reflection, those negative or destructive thoughts and judgements that seem to always be lurking, waiting for the chance to spring up and dominate our thinking. When you find your thoughts drifting in this manner immediately supplant the negative and destructive thoughts with positive. As you are beginning to discover, this can be a strenuous effort and few would be able to do this for much more than seven days so take heart, the dividends you will receive are worth the effort. Keep in focus the reason for this diet: to be aware of our thinking in a new light and to learn to plant positive, constructive, optimistic and kind thoughts in the garden of our consciousness; watered with the love and guidance of  the Creative Power of the Universe. Shhhh…and, remember don’t tell anyone you are on a diet. Follow this advice as well if you are considering starting a weight loss plan, an exercise program or quitting smoking and your odds of success will increase exponentially.
